Those were nice cars.

The FIA have introduced a class called "Super 2000" for 2007. I think it's to do with the production class - Group N? Peogeot & Toyota have so far produced cars for that classification.

Only one ever made and they basically just lopped the roof off and covered over the mess with fake leather.

But I liked it too.
